10-Minute Warning XVI

What can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Last night, I finally watched Voltes V: Legacy – The Cinematic Experience with my cousins and Younger Brother. I was so excited to watch it especially since I grew up watching and loving Voltes V. How was the movie? As a fan, it has exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to watch the whole series starting May 8 on GMA 7. (And maybe I should do a full review soon?)

Last week, I may have spent more money than usual. And today I checked whatever was left in my wallet. I still have some money left, but I could have done better. I’m disappointed in myself.

So, here’s my plan: This week and, at least, until payday, I’m not going out unless it’s for exercise. Wish me luck!

Speaking of exercise, tonight I will do that again at Three Trees after a week of having coughs and asthma. I feel so much better now, thanks to the doctor’s prescribed drugs. And I’m charging my phone and power bank before I go out and exercise with Younger Brother.

And time’s up.

II: The Deranged Writer’s Money Challenge (2023)

For the past few years, I tried to keep up with money challenges. I tried to save up to PHP 1,000 in the 1st week, PHP 2,000 in the 2nd week, and so on until I failed. I tried to save up to PHP 500 in the 1st payout, then PHP 1,000 in the 2nd payout, and PHP 1,500 in the 3rd payout, but I failed. I tried saving up 1s, 5s, 10s, and 20s over the past few years… and that is going well so far. But I lost track of how many coins I earned.

So, this 2023, instead of following other people’s money challenges, I decided to create my own. And it’s simple: in a month, I deposit a minimum of PHP 1,000 times the number of the month.
